Thanks, TBH I'm not sure what they could do, since I doubt that I count as a priority. Happily though, when I called the radiology to enquire as to timescales I mentioned that I could probably come in at short notice if they had a cancellation. They called me today and I'm going in tomorrow morning, so worth a try if you're lucky enough to be flexible with timing.

Managed to injure my shoulder doing some heavy lifting/DIY at the beginning of September. Got a GP appointment at the beginning of November and was referred for an ultrasound. Just chased it up with the hospital and they've told me that the wait will be at least 26 weeks, which would put it in mid-May.
What's the point? By that stage my injury will likely either have resolved or (if it's bad enough) have seriously aggravated itself through unavoidable use. Is there any option other than going private, if you can afford it?
